Hi guys, I'm using Ktor as a server, for contentNegotiation I'm using jackson and I was wondering how can we add custom ContentType to make jackson accept for example application/vnd.api+json that in the end is also Json ?
My current settings for ContentNegotiation

install(ContentNegotiation) {
    jackson {
        enable(SerializationFeature.INDENT_OUTPUT)
        disable(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES)
        registerKotlinModule()
    }
}

Try this:

val type = ContentType("application", "vnd.api+json")

install(ContentNegotiation) {
    register(type, JacksonConnverter())
    jackson {
        enable(SerializationFeature.INDENT_OUTPUT)
        disable(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES)
        registerKotlinModule()
    }
}
